A new imaging technique allows scientists to capture fleeting cellular processes that conventional microscopes struggle to ...

Researchers have developed a revolutionary microscope that uses an incredibly powerful laser to make previously invisible ...

Tunable TIRF microscopy enables multi-depth imaging of living cells and accelerates studies of cancer metastasis and vascular ...

Two heads are better than one, as the saying goes, and sometimes two instruments, ingeniously recombined, can accomplish feats that neither could have done on its own. The microscope combines ...

Researchers have built a reconfigurable light-sheet microscope that lets users swap oil, water and air objectives while staying diffraction-limited across samples from single cells to cleared tissue.

A hybrid microscope allows scientists to simultaneously image the full 3D orientation and position of an ensemble of molecules, such as labeled proteins inside cells. The microscope combines polarized ...

Shining light deep into a cell.If you can do that, it feels like you can see inside. However, a microscope also needs a way back. Unless the light generated inside returns to the lens and camera, it ...

Using a tiny, spherical glass lens sandwiched between two brass plates, the 17th century Dutch microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first to officially describe red blood cells and sperm cells ...

A complete, ready-to-teach GCSE Biology lesson focused on using light microscopes to observe cells, with links to the GCSE Required Practical on using a light microscope to observe and draw plant and ...
